Collision Reporting

More in this Section...

Being involved in a collision can be confusing and upsetting to all parties involved. Knowing what to do can help alleviate some of the stress.

You should contact police immediately if your collision involves:

Danger to motorists at the scene of the collision

Personal injury

Any criminal activity, such as impaired driving or stolen vehicles

A government vehicle of any kind

A vehicle which is transporting dangerous goods

Damage to third-party property, such as a parked car where the owner is not at the scene

Damage to private, municipal or highway property

A pedestrian or cyclist

An uncooperative driver

Additionally, if damage to your vehicle appears to exceed $2,000, you should contact police. Under the Highway Traffic Act, the duty to report exists for any collisions where the damage exceeds $2,000 combined. Furthermore, regardless of the nature of the accident, law dictates that drivers must provide information to one another.

If your collision occurred in Richmond Hill, Markham or Vaughan - and providing your collision does not involve any of the above - you have to option to report the incident at the Collision Reporting Centre, found at the Community Resource Centre in Richmond Hill.
